The UK-JAPAN Engineering Biology Kickoff Workshop for the selected projects in FY2024 took place in the Millennium Hotel London Knightsbridge on May 29, 2025.
It was a valuable opportunity to learn about the overall scope of collaborative research projects being promoted by multiple research teams from Japan and the UK. The workshop also provided networking sessions and brought active discussions with researchers and representatives from funding agencies. These exchanges were significant and helped lay the groundwork for future international collaboration.
On May 30, the parties involved in the workshop visited Imperial College London(ICL), where they received an overview of their research activities and educational system. The visit offered insightful perspectives that will inform and inspire future research and educational practices of the project.
